For now, the only thing Putin can do to prevent Ukraine’s incorporation into the E.U./NATO is to preserve an already ongoing low intensity war in the Donbass. Though the threat of invasion is real, he doesn’t have too and I don’t think he will. He just needs to keep The Ukraine a corrupt unstable crap hole that nobody in NATO wants to touch with a ten foot barge pole until he can find a way to install a friendly government.
